Data transfer is a mess afaik, big reason I tend to buy my cables in different lengths, if it’s long I know it’s for charging, short it’s for data. Some manufacturers do mark the cable ends with their capabilities (ugreen for sure does this, just checked my power ones are marked 240w and my data a marked 10Gbps), my stuff is mostly older though so I don’t have a bunch of different data speeds to worry about.

I’m with you though, I’ll take it over a bunch of different proprietary cables.

Saw someone describe it as 90s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and that was enough for me to pick it up. It’s short yeah but to me it’s a good example of games as art. The music choice is integral to the experience, I really enjoyed it and have been gently suggesting my partner play it.

I don’t pay attention to the people who yell woke at everything, what’s their issue this time?

And even for fresh water, you have biofouling to worry about and what to do with the water after you’ve used it, can’t just dump it into the environment untreated.

If you can swing it, Sabrent makes some nvme enclosures for the 2230 size the deck uses https://sabrent.com/collections/nvme-enclosures/products/ec-ne30 that are super reasonable price wise, https://sabrent.com/collections/nvme-enclosures/products/ec-snveis for full size and is also super reasonable. What I did for mine and my partner’s decks upgrading from a 512 GB ssd, if you have drive space you could do with one enclosure. I use the old ssd as a removable drive now so it doesn’t got to waste.

Ssd is the way to go for sure, SD card is nice to have but it’s very noticeably slower for some things, I tend to use it for emulators and games I don’t play frequently.

Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of it for two things.

First being sqlserver, though that’s been able to run on linux for a long time now, there’s a bunch of features not supported but not a deal breaker for a lot of people, I haven’t encountered ssis or ssas in years for example.

Second being Internet Information Services (IIS), which some people really seem to like.

Wouldn’t be surprised if active directory required a windows machine either, definitely a bunch of cases I’m not considering or aware of but I’m no sysadmin.

I haven’t looked at Nix in detail but you got me interested for 3d printers in particular, already have my klipper config in git if an SD card fails on me, going to have to look at doing that for the os too.

Are you married to the idea of wireless? The old suggestion of decent headphones and a mic are imo the best way to do things. I’ve got an old blue yeti I use when I need a mic, but been considering getting a modmic to attach to my headphones. I ran with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-880s for over a decade as my daily drivers with a FiiO DAC/amp combo, use a k5 pro now with some DT 1990s and found that to be a great combo.

I couldn’t get into fusion at all but had a bunch of (dated) solidworks experience, it worked well for me following a similar workflow I’d follow. Found it worked best to not use references to existing geometry and doing things like fillets last, I like to hand sketch first anyhow so that translates well in my experience.

Part design and sketch workbench are the way to go imo, it’s gotten a lot friendlier since 1.0, I recall a lot of people liked ondsel in terms of ux, think a lot of the stuff they were doing actually ended up in 1.0, the topo naming problem is less of an issue, I’ll still work around it (hence avoiding geometry references) though.

My partner does and I have no idea how they stand it, for ebooks, my library works with my kobo so it’s either that or epubs. I can do a tablet for ebooks but I find the phone way too small.

Libby is supported by a bunch of library systems on android, used KOReader for ebooks on android too.

They probably have infinite time because seemingly everything is too woke for these fucks, certainly seems like they don’t actually play games

I can’t comment on the other ones unfortunately, but there are a ton of mods available for Vorons that are still coming out. They’re solid platforms and great if you’re someone who likes to tinker, imo they’re also super solid as “just print” device. I’ve got mine with canbus and built a filament changer, but there’s tool changer mods I’ve seen as well.

If you do go for a voron, I’d suggest a trident. I have a 2.4 but I recently built a fixed gantry printer like how the trident is setup, it’s a lot easier to work with.
